Amniotic membrane and adipose-derived stem cell co-culture system enhances bone regeneration in a rat periodontal defect model

Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory process that potentially leads to alveolar bone destruction and tooth loss. Tissue engineering combined with stem cell therapy is a potential effective treatment for periodontal bone loss. Amniotic membrane (AM) is a potential scaffold enriched with mult...
